Order the GKN from Pelican and ditch the rebuilds. FYI the 951 axle is cheaper and free shipping on either. Your time is worth something.
^^This. For wasting your time/energy/aggravation, the warranty on the EMPI and other Chinese axles is as useless as the axles themselves; note, these complaints about them aren't unique to Porsches,
I'll paraphrase 'Tommy Boy':
"Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it 'Guaranteed', I will... Because all they sold ya is a guaranteed piece of sh&t."
The transmission hanger mount is in good condition (at least from what I can tell), however I have been using non oem, cheaper axles, Although I wouldn't understand why one axle would consistently last but the other side would break?
This. The cheaper axles are complete and utter garbage. They are made with what low grade material than just cannot handle any amount of stress. Get yourself a set of used OEM units if funds are an issue. I got a set of decent ones off a turbo and no more issues...and I had new mounts all around when I did break the cheapo ones.
